Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. BE + A television show starring George Clooney = a drink made from hops.

Answer: Beer

Be + "ER" = beer.

"ER" was a medical drama that debuted in 1994. It starred a large cast but most famously George Clooney who played Doug Ross, Anthony Edwards who played Mark Green and Julianna Margulies as Carol Hathaway.

Beer is an alcoholic beverage made from hops and barley that has existed since ancient times in some form.

2. BE+ pea soup weather phenomenon = to make confused

Answer: Befog

Be + fog = befog

Thick heavy fog is sometimes called pea soup. To befog means to make something foggy, or colloquially to confuse or baffle.

3. BE + sore = coastal

Answer: Beachy

Be + achy = beachy.

If something is achy, it is usually characterized by a dull pain or ache. Beachy refers to an area along a coastline.

4. BE + a patio = to decorate

Answer: Bedeck

Be + deck = bedeck.

A deck is typically an outdoor structure where patio furniture and other outdoor objects can be found. To bedeck means to decorate something elaborately.

5. BE + Calliope or Thalia, for example = to confuse

Answer: Bemuse

Be + muse = bemuse

Calliope and Thalia are two of the Ancient Greek Muses (of epic poetry and comedy respectively). To bemuse also means to muddle or confuse just like befog.

6. BE + a serving apparatus = what a traitor does

Answer: Betray

Be + tray = betray

A tray is a platter that is used to serve meals. To betray means to be deceptive. Some famous traitors include Benedict Arnold and Vidkun Quisling.

7. BE + an illegal sports move = to corrupt

Answer: Befoul

Be + foul = befoul

Many sports have rules regarding fouls. Punishments for fouls typically include turnovers to the other team or time spent in the penalty box. To befoul means to corrupt or ruin the reputation of something. Befoul is also an archaic term to lose one's virginity outside of marriage.

8. BE + a warlock's wife = to put a spell on someone

Answer: Bewitch

Be + witch = bewitch

A witch is a woman who practices supernatural powers or, in modern usage, a woman connected with nature. To bewitch means to put a spell or curse on someone. Bewitching does not have to be a negative spell, though it is commonly used to mean such.

9. BE + work = to beat soundly or attack

Answer: Belabor

Be + labor = belabor

Labor can be a noun meaning work or the body of people performing the work. It can also be a verb meaning to do work. Belabor means to viciously beat or attack someone or something relentlessly.

10. BE + an old word for plunder = to mourn or grieve or be deprived of a loved one

Answer: Bereave

Be + reave = bereave

Reave is a somewhat archaic term for to plunder or raid as Vikings once did. To bereave means to grieve the loss (usually through death) or someone or something.
